"We can now say that our movie was introduced by a Scottish stand-up comedian zombie!" declares Paul Fuchs, one of the trio of filmmakers behind JIBANGUS. Festival coordinator Sara Meredith, a station volunteer and secretary of its board of directors, emphasized to the audience that the event was important to keeping the community interested in its offerings in the digital broadcasting era. "I used to be co-director of WYOU and it would be great to rally more support around it," notes Fuchs, though he adds that it's hard to be optimistic about its challenges.

For WYOU viewers and local film fans who missed the final screening, there's quite a bit to be found online. Trailers for the two longer works, along with the complete versions of three of the four shorts winners are all available for viewing. These follow, along with more information about the films and their creators:

WYOU organizers plan for the festival to become a regular event for the station, intended to maintain visibility once its broadcasts go digital and it switches to Channel 991 come August 12. "We're looking to do this annually, perhaps semi-annually," says Meredith. "This was the first one to kick that off." Viewers wondering whether or not the station's annual awards show will be returning can look forward to a fourth annual edition, notes Meredith. "We'll still have that this year," she says, "but probably in the fall."
